Please forgive me if this question has been asked previously, I could not find anything in the FAQ about it. I get the error message listed below when I attempt to use apt-get.
dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.

NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
This message is not quite what it should be, it should mention "/sw/sbin". Is it in your PATH?

He should not be worrying about his path, rather he should worry about whether "source /sw/bin/init.csh" is being read from his .cshrc. For example if he is using bash, it won't be. (I think he already came to the IRC channel and worked this out)

Some newbies might get confused and start adding fink paths manually to their paths, which would be bad.
